A temporary halt on new data center applications is being considered. City officials have approved a resolution to start the process for a 90-day moratorium. This move will also lead to the reactivation of a task force that will advise on data center policies and regulations.
The city manager has been directed to initiate the process for the moratorium. A change in state law now requires three public hearings before such a moratorium can take effect.
